We all understand that the danger of war with Russia increases because of Obama's pusillanimous foreign policy. It is not a new idea to understand that Obama invites aggression by his lack of clarity.
But we must also understand that the danger of war is increased by Obama himself. We must not believe that Obama will always be passive because his nature is to acquiesce to every affront. Nothing could be further from the truth. Obama is a radical, a Marxist, therefore he does not measure threats according to the same standard that all other presidents have used.
Obama will react with whatever it takes to defend and prosper his ideology. He will not necessarily react to threats which threaten his nation. One need only review the wars conducted by communists to understand that they are not pacifists but extremely bloodthirsty in the pursuit of the advancement of their ideology. More than 100 million have died at their hands. It is a commonplace to believe that the left abhors war, they do not, they exaggerate the brutality of war when war would advance or defend capitalism but they indulge in the murder of a whole generations, classes, or races to advance their own ideology. This is the mental matrix of Barack Obama.
Added to this new matrix inside Obama's head by which America's power is applied (or not applied), we have the extraneous but very dangerous reality that Obama himself is a narcissist. He associates his own well-being with the advancement of his radical anti-American, Marxist, anti-colonialist, pro-Islamicist ideology. In other words, to Obama the advancement of global justice as he defines it is synonymous with the maintenance of his own image. A threat to his image might well lead to a violent reaction. We have already seen the lawlessness of this administration, for example the lawlessness of the IRS in the election cycle of 2012 when Obama's personal career was at stake.
Under these circumstances it is impossible for actors on the international stage to know what will generate a violent reaction from Obama. The danger is that they will simply calculate that they can safely push and push without fear of reprisal. That is not true. They dare not push against Obama personally or against his ideology.
The problem is that it is extremely difficult to understand exactly what it is that motivates Obama. Too often we hear establishment Republicans criticize Obama for lack of experience on the job. This is a disservice to the nation.
So for a leader such as Vladimir Putin to proceed simplistically assuming that he knows his man is a very, very dangerous assumption and possibly even a miscalculation which could lead to war.
